Thanks for the heads up; didn't realize it was starting back up again.
And since Bill Hader appears to hate his character, I'm thinking the ending is gonna be pretty bleak. Hader does a fair number of interviews about the show and every time he makes it clear that he's not terribly interested in a tidy ending for Barry. He thinks the PTSD thing is mostly an excuse to be a shithead. Barry's gonna end up in a cage or a box when all is said and done, IMO.

If we're parsing out seasons, then season 1 of Homeland is elite in my book where as the first 30 minutes of Night Agent was reminiscent to the start of the '11 Chiefs season when Eric Berry shredded his knee in week 1 by comparison. |

I'm glad I wasn't the only one. I saw Night Agent getting some praise here, but I couldn't get past the second episode. Thought I was watching a different series after hearing some reviews.

Yeah, you went in with WAAAY too high of expectations. No way that show is either one of those things. I was surprised by a couple of the performances and the action was better than the low budget schlock I was expecting, but my comment was it was way too big for it's britches. |

Suddenly in like episode 6 she had a great rack.
I have no idea where that came from. She goes from essentially being your little sister to making some movement in a grey t-shirt and packing serious heat in the process...

Just finished watching "Beef". Not my style. I would give it a 6-7 on the Hoot Factor. I am glad that Netflix allows for a 1.5X watch speed.
Fruit Loop is not quite the word I am looking for...Melodramatic, contrived...dunno. If the whole premise is based upon a road rage incident, color me jaundiced. |

I think he's gotten darker in the show because he tried to be subtle in season 1 and people kept thinking Barry was a likeable and redeemable character. I think he's always felt this way about Barry but has gotten more heavy handed due to the audience response.
